I was hoping I wasn’t the only one to catch that.
Conker was awesome, I loved playing that game.
Interestingly, the Xbox remake is more dumbed down, and the N64 was considered more “kid friendly”. Hmmmm…

Kid friendly? You are a fowl mouther squirrel that is drunk in the opening scene, he has to urinate on characters and slams a boss’ testicles with bricks and frying pans….that’s your definition of KID FRIENDLY?!? I agree…It was awesome!!!

This is the gaming world we live in. (not for the fact that Conker is a squirrel and awesome we all agree with that)

Bayonetta 2 uncensored and the Wii U: then Nintendo is kid friendly.
Censored South Park Stick of the Truth on PS3 and 360 but not PC: Microsoft and Sony are cool.

Same happened with Conker, it’s censored only sometimes for comedic effect on the N64 but the N64 sucks, the XBOX version removes all bad wording but that’s an adults console?

When this happended.

But we all agree on something: Bugsby is a cat and his games are shit, no the SNES ones weren’t good it’s really a generic character and it’s supposed to be kid friendly, unlike conker witch cover had one of the first mature disclamers ever made, before ESRB and PEGI were effective.

I mean, Go Ask Alice, the infamous novel and movie? That reference is not for a kid to get really, at least label this game for adults like conker did if you wanna go there.

Bad taste.

Neither was considered ‘kid friendly’, the xbox port just said it was ‘live and reloaded’ and it was censored which made it arguably funnier. Having just replayed it I also noticed that Conker himself is not foul-mouthed. It was most everybody else that did the swearing. Death especially, when he talked about cats. Man he hated cats.

I remember playing the Super Nintendo Bubsy games when I much younger and I really enjoyed them. I tried them as an adult, wanting to relive some nostalgia and there were pretty bad at an older age. This one looks even worse.

I guess the novelty wears off as the years roll by…We have been ruined by to many fast paced FPS and explosive 3d graphics. That is one of the reasons I really like indie games. They explore new concepts that have their roots in what made classic and retro games so good…

Actually, the Super Nintendo Bubsy games were comparably decent. I played the Jaguar one as a kid owning and liking one of the SNES Bubsy Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind. It’s so much worse. The Bubsy games have a weird backwards progress thing going on. The newer the game, the worse it is.

Yeah, I’m always disappointed when I see that someone complains a game is bad when they don’t have/read the instructions or understand the controls. Basically, Bubsy has a regular jump that is a “high” jump, and then he has his hop-glide attack that lets you ease your way down onto enemies. The best method for long jumps is to do the high jump, then glide as far as possible in midair with the other button. No need to run and jump. This persists throughout the entire 2D series. The series definitely has flaws – the weird “pull-back” that the game gives you at the top of a jump, the one-hit-kills when the game emphasises fast running… but I enjoyed the first one on SNES enough. Couldn’t really get into the sequel.

exactly, like you said those are the worst flaws of the game, but in the end that isn’t too bad. Now i will say it looks like this one does not even have a password system, thats screwed up. But aside from that i feel the flaws aren’t big enough to define this as a “bad game” or at least not the whole series. As they keep doing in this video.

I’d kinda hope Either James, or Mike would play the Snes, games before passing said judgement, After all you wouldn’t demonize the Zelda name, if all you played was the knock off system game I.E the CDI-Games. No you would go back and give their originals a try, and see there was a good game at one time.

And yeah the one hit kill is annoying, but it is just one less than sonic, and I never had a problem with going fast, cause the glide effect works better in the originals.

With all the hard platformers we’ve seen James play, it was really weird to see this one give him issues. I personally couldn’t get through level one as a kid (my uncle owned a Jaguar), I’ve never been as bad ass at these types of games.

I’m not a fan of the Bubsy games either. He always felt like some corporate sell-out type of a mascost trying to be “too cool” for everyone. It’s the same way I felt about Sonic the Hedgehog. (Not that Mario isn’t a corporate sell-out…but at least he wasn’t irritatingly ‘extreme’ with a ‘bad attitude’… Sometimes I’m so ashamed of the 90s…)

Sorry, even I have to come to their defense on this one.
I am also the proud (?) owner of this game and was playing it just last week.

It’s very hard to jump on anything because the hit boxes are imprecise. In fact, it scares you from touching ANYTHING for fear that even your attacks will fail and cause instant death. You become highly defensive. I can’t tell you how many times in this video they *successfully* attacked anything and I was cringing every time!

Combine that with the loose control (this ain’t Super Mario) and the ever aggravating “Oh sure, let’s all torch the Bubster” vocal every time you die, and yes, you do indeed have a poor game. Not the Jag’s WORST game by any means. Just poor.

I liked bubsy on the snes back whenever. I never owned the console but my buddy did and had a shit ton of games. This is one I spent a fair amount of time on. I wouldn’t touch it again though like I do with a game like pilot wings from time to time… And fuck that controller man, sounded like they were pressing buttons on a switchboard.

I remember playing Bubsy on the SNES. Rented it from the video store at the time, but I don’t recall which one. I liked the game fine, I think, but I don’t recall if Bubsy spoke or not. Seems I would remember more. I was probably about 11 or 12 at the time.

As for this one, looks okay, but seems you guys only really had trouble with the controls and I’m assuming that the t-shirt you got right before that “stop light” marker thing was an extra life.

I only played the genesis Bubsy games (of which there were at least 2,) but it was REALLY clear that they were trying to make a Sonic clone the whole time. Bubsy looks like a character in Sonic’s style, and he even has similar animations like the tapping foot. I think he even had a catch phrase “What could possibly go wrong?” He even got a pilot for an animated cartoon which again was a cheap knock off of the Adventures of Sonic cartoon. The problem is that despite how much they tried to imitate Sonic they just couldn’t get it to work right, the screen is too tight and doesn’t scroll fast enough to see obstacles, and Bubsy’s acceleration curve is totally messed up. Even his gliding move is a pale imitation of Knuckles’ gliding move.

James and Mike you should review “Awesome Possum” for Sega, its not awesome by any means, but possibly worse than bubsy. Although I know Garfield has plenty of game titles, Caught in the Act being my fav., does Heathcliff have any titles??

Is it just me, or is it kind of frustrating watching James and Mike fail so much in these videos? Theyre supposed to be pros. Well maybe not pros, but theyre excellent at other games. Like contra for example. They cant even beat the 1st level in this Bubsy game. An 18 minute video of them just doing the same thing over and over again in the first level..

Never beaten it myself either. Only seen one person with the stamina to get to level 2.

It’s not even impossible to do this stuff. This isn’t R-Type 3 or Ninja Gaiden 3. You just get aggravated by it. You don’t want to touch anything for fear it will kill you. You don’t want to die because you don’t want to hear his annoying voice.

And then you realize the problem. It’s NOT R-Type 3 or Ninja Gaiden 3. Those games are HARD but they kick butt in spite of it all. You WANT to keep playing those games.

And it’s not a Neo-Geo CD game with 1 minute load times that you want to keep playing anyway because the underlying Neo-Geo game is so good either.

It’s just aggravatingly average. The reward isn’t enough to justify the effort.

Rob Paulsen’s talented beyond belief, but in this case he’s emulating a voice started by someone else (Brian Silva) and done in the same vein as Bugs Bunny. (They said as much in the article in Nintendo Power volume 56, 1994, in the subscriber bonus section. And yes I really did know that by memory! :-p )

James and Mike, there is an expression: “The poor man’s ___.” It would be used in the context of your heathcliff discussion. If we just assume everything is like you said, and disregard whatever the truth might be, then what you would say is: “Heathcliff is the poor man’s Garfield.” You could say: “Gobots is the poor man’s transformers.” In the media, when Aerosmith first came out, they called Aerosmith “The Poor Man’s Rolling Stone.” You can figure that one out. By the way, google plus doesnt keep track of my posts on this site. I dont know if it is supposed to, but it keeps track of all my youtube posts. Why doesnt this site keep track of my posts?

Hey guys Bobby Brady here i wrote something for us…”Well we are like JJ Fad and we’re here to rock rhymes like ours can never be stopped u see there is 3 of us and i know we’re fresh Mike James and Bobby are the best”

Nice video. Yeah, this game looks pretty bad. You should try the Genesis game. It’s pretty fun. It’s not spectacular, but it’s not bad. I beat it during a rental as a kid, so it’s definitely not as hard as this Jaguar game.

i wonder if this game would of been more better on snes and sega genesis… it was only on Jaguar… i don’t see how it could not of been ported over… IMO if this game would of been released in this era it would of been an add-on for the first bubsy game. or the sonic and knuckles lock-on cart.

I can’t speak for everyone else, but the reason I HATE Bubsy is b/c it is SOOOOOO blatantly obvious that the makers were just trying to make a Mario or Sonic clone. Also, his games have no structure; there’s no main villain, no recurring enemies or mechanics etc. (like jumping on turtle shells or bouncing springs, etc.). It just feels like a bunch of random ideas put into the game with no thought or direction. The makers just wanted to get the same success that Mario and Sonic had without putting as much effort into it. Screw them, Bubsy got the shitty legacy that he deserved.
